More than half way trough

For a start I'm sorry to say that this blog post is not going to be as colorful with photos as i thought it would be. During the first night in Barcelona somebody stole my camera.

So Friday evening i still decided to leave from Perpignan because earning money was a bit difficult because of the police. But it was a short 4 hour walk because it started raining and i found a bridge under what i could sleep.

Saturday the road started to climb because i was close to the border in Pyrenees. Also the road was pretty narrow and often dangerous in the mountains because it was pitch dark. But i wanted to arrive in Spain so i kept walking.
At 8 pm i arrived at border.

(this is the only photo i could upload from my camera before it got stolen)

And from there the road was very good. Just downhill and the road was wide also.
Then i walked trough an interesting town called La jounqurea. The place was full of huge truck stops, lot of prostitutes even in the town, big supermarkets and a lot of tobacco shops.
I walked out of the city and found a nice place next to the road to sleep.

Sunday just little bit before  Figueres i saw a guy who i met back in Montpellier. He travels on his bike and with his music. For him Spain wasn't so good so his going back to France. Anyway we did some cigarettes and had a beer and wished good luck to each other.

Then in the evening i wanted to go to sleep around 11 pm. But because i saw lightening before, i wanted to walk until i find a try place to sleep. But i didn't find any dry place to sleep and then there was also a big part of road under construction so i had to keep walking. Then at 2 am i found a nice place to sleep but when i started to make my bed i heard people talking that there is somebody walking on the field. So i picked my bag up and walked another hour before i found a place to sleep.

Monday i wanted to walk trough Girona so i could by a Spanish map and dictionary.
At one moment i saw a big city down to my right and then i remembered that the bigger roads go around the cities (from the border until Barcelona i have been walking without a map).
But at least there was a gas station on my way so i could buy some food.

Then later in the evening the road i was walking on transformed into A category highway. But luckily then i saw one bar where one guy showed me on Google maps where i could walk so it was okay again.

Tuesday at noon it was 2500 km somewhere in the middle of nothing.
In the evening i was almost at the coast so there was always some kind of a town and no empty areas. But in the city i found a culvert pipe just big enough for me crawl in and to sleep under the main road.

Wednesday i was at the coast again and the road was very beautiful again. The hole day i took it easy with long stops because i wanted to arrive in  Barcelona Friday at noon and not Thursday evening.

Thursday i took it even slower because i found out that Barcelona was even closer when i thought it would be. For the hole day i could walk on the beach line which was nice.
in the evening one guy stopped and in Spanish he asked where I'm going to sleep.
We talked little bit with google translate and then he offered me a place to sleep.
We drank some wine and talked with google translate for the hole evening.

Friday Barcelona was just around the corner. So i walked on the beach line again. Later i went into the city to do some sightseeing. Barcelona seems to be awesome. I don't know what it exactly is yet but i like it.

In the evening i sat in one big square and three British guys came to talk with me and offered some beer. Later they invited me to bar where we drank more beers and crazy 80 degree absinthe shots until somewhere around 4 am. Then i started looking for a place to sleep but i passed out on the bench and later the police came. But it wasn't so bad at all like all the people warned me. They just said that i cant sleep here and showed me a park where i could sleep and it was fine.

Saturday wanted to go to the cinema to see the new hunger games. It took me almost half a day to find the cinema but i found it. Then i had little bit time before the movie started so i went to a bar.
There the owner saw my sign and we talked little bit and after that he gave me his address and said that i could sleep in his place.

Later after the movie i went back to the city center and then i saw a girl who i met back in Genova. so we had few beers and talked little bit. After that i went to my host place.

Sunday i slept until 3 pm. After that i walked little bit around the city and in the evening i came back.
We talked little more and then went to sleep.

And today i slept until 2 pm again and haven't done much anything.
But my lovely host said that i can stay in his place until Sunday so that's perfect.

So far 2577 km.
